resigning on move 1 as black



the guy is obviously trying to lower his rating but i never met someone like that before. i'm shocked.That win was brutal for me. i really hate it. i put myself in condition for a long game and now i'm disturbed and can't concentrate...
is there any way to make sure users don't do this? maybe do like OTb games where you can't draw or resign before a few moves
He's only lost 4 points in his recent games. Perhaps something came up and he had to leave.
Black probably guessed you would play e4 and then ended up in an uncomfortable position because they played e5 too quickly. The polite thing for black to do is to play on, but I would not assume any foul play here other than just making a mistake and resigning. Just take the win and move on.
ok...still, asuming someone will play e4 on the first move is weird xD
that's not like 1d4 is not commun :) if you are right, the guy played too much bullets games and didn't prepare for a classical.
well, whatever. i managed to play another one after 30 min or so.
I've resigned early on because I've had to go. Don't think move one but very early (less than 5 moves)
Yeah, I resign when I gtg. So don't jump to conclusions by saying he or she was "obviously trying to lower their rating".
